About This Movie

Its practical effects may not be groundbreaking, but they add a certain authenticity, making it a curious watch for those interested in pre-war cinema.

Trois jours de perm' remains a somewhat elusive title among collectors, not because it’s particularly rare, but more due to its low visibility in modern discussions.

The scarcity of information around the director adds to its mystique, making it a conversation starter in any collection.
